Hey Coaches check out this well-rounded wide receiver with elite route running and speed. He brings versatility, toughness, and has very impressive playmaking abilities. He is a great blocker and would be an asset for many programs seeking an all-around threat at WR.

@AllieMatters Can't wait to work with you and the rest of team!

[Amari Dryden @AmariDryden]

Congratulations!

The history of the Kansas City football team’s name got weirder and weirder the more columnist Naomi Ishisaka looked into it. https://t.co/9Y1lKBJUUs

@Isabella_Braga @LSU So proud! Welcome to the SEC!

[Amari Dryden @AmariDryden]

So proud of this team! How many people can say their younger brother is a national champ? 😁 @GraysonDryden

@janice_ubc I'd love to create an Indigenous cultural audit like Athlete Ally's Athletic Equality Index for LGBTQIA+ policies and practices at US universities

[Amari Dryden @AmariDryden]

@janice_ubc I do this all the time when I look at various university websites. The amount of times nothing comes up when you type "Native American" or "Indigenous" is appalling 🤦‍♀️

[Amari Dryden @AmariDryden]

Such an honor to be on the pod 😊 Hit me up if you're in need of learning about how to support and advocate for Native college athletes!

[TFB 🥷🏽💫 @timothyfbryson]

During this walk, @AmariDryden shares how we can support Native American college athletes.

Amari's research stems from relationships she established with former @GoCards Native American basketball athletes, Shoni and Jude Schimmel.

Can't wait to see the film on November 15th when they're on Vanderbilt's campus!

[Vanderbilt Sports & Society @SportsSocietyVU]

Filmmakers Ben West & Yancey Burns join the show to discuss their new documentary on the fight against Native American mascots. "Imagining The Indian" makes the case that these dehumanizing mascots create a public health crisis (1/3)

@DrKKelly @CityofAlbanyGA If you make it down to Thomasville, go to Chicken Delight! Fabulous chicken and sweet tea (taking my family's word for it since I don't consume either 🙃)

[Amari Dryden @AmariDryden]

@DrKKelly @VandyAD @vucommodores So happy for you! I have family in Thomasville, just an hour south of Albany. I'll make sure to make a pitstop 😊
